flat earth people

It’s Greek to me. Eratosthenes - Wikipedia

It’s all a conspiracy! There is no such thing as space travel and ships and planes do fall off the edge of the earth. However immediate teleportation takes them to the other side of the earth seamlessly and quicker than one can process. Same with satellites of course.

It’s sad to see that people believe in things that were known to be false 2,000 years ago. With the push back against science these days in the US it will only get worse :rage:

Flat Earth? Meh.

Wife called me a fat headlast week

It’s kinda like a huge infinity pool. By the time you realise you’re at the edge, >PLOOMP!<, you’re over.

I still say we’re all on the back of a giant turtle…

Flat earthers are entitled to their beliefs without being insulted and treated like idiots, as are all the people that believe in an all powerful deity (God, Allah, whatever) as there is NO proof whatsoever that one exists, yet as an Atheist I am insulted by so called religious people all the time and am told that proof is not needed just faith.
So let the flat earthers believe in what they want to and I let me continue in my disbelief without ridicule.

Cheers David


Do not start a religious discussion here as it is against the forum code of conduct also I have no interest in people trying to convert me to their beliefs.

That’s like saying people are entitled to believe 2+2=3. They’re not. The bad math screws up everything. People believe a conspiracy “like” a religion, meaning on blind faith… that’s the only commonality. Just an analogy on that factor. But it’s just wrong to believe something so outrageously false. Not that we need Thought Police roaming around, locking up anyone who believes the Earth is flat. Just that people shouldn’t propagate such falsehoods. THAT is wrong. They only bolster the movement, which is doomed to begin with because it’s based on an all out lie.

what is on the other side of the flat earth?

Atheism is a religion like baldness is a hair colour, not collecting stamps is a hobby, and abstinence is a sex position.
Atheism has no dogma, no agenda, no teachings. There are prominent thinkers and leaders who are atheists, but no atheist leaders because it is not a movement.
Nothing represents atheism because atheism is not a thing that can be represented, it is an absence of theism.
The ONLY thing all atheists have in common is that they are not convinced any theism is valid.

Back to the topic of flat-earthers.
The simplest demonstration that I can’t see how they can refute is a long distance phone call.
If it’s the middle of the day where you are, and you can be having a conversation with someone you trust who tells you it is the middle of the night, how can they explain that with a flat earth?

Fact based evidence would convince normal folks that the earth is indeed not flat. What you are dealing with here is illogically thinking people. Or they just like attention. Either way, they seem to figure out how to breed. That is what scares me. It’s been proven that the harder you try to convince someone of the truth and change their mind, the more devout in their beliefs they become. Strange but true.

Flat earth people are the most successful internet trolls of all time. 6 pages about them here alone.

Totally agree with you, but this true for most religions.

In my opinion there is no difference between believing that the world is flat and believing that some guy created the world in 6 days.

Jimmy Hoffa,
That plane that disappeared like 2 years ago,
That parking meter I had hanging in my spare room,
Amelia Earhart,
D.B. Cooper,
The real unseen ending to the Sopranos

And the thing that no scientist can ever find (or any man) …………………The G Spot :slight_smile:

Keep it going.

The sun is like a light bulb spinning on a flat surface.

Eric Dubay is answering both questions here on this timestamp. The whole documentary is worth watching.

If you are skeptic you also must question axioms.

All the partners of those single socks in the drawer.
Lots of teaspoons.
Plastic pens by the millions (ever noticed how they never seem to run out of ink, because they don’t stick around long enough)
A mountain of hair clips
The TV remote
Military intelligence
The grassy knoll shooter
Elvis Presley
Political integrity
The female libido

My big wonder has been: Did they ever tried to sail to the antarctica? I believe there must be at least a rich flat-earther, or they can just collect needed funds to go there. It’s much more doable than making their own space rocket and fly to outer space.

- WHY??

I find that the biggest argument against flat earth is the whole super big free-masonic NASA conspiracy, its hard to believe they are all in the know and purposely lying about us…

Scale modeler?

The Earth raised tidal bulges on the moon. As the moon rotated through these bulges, internal friction slowed the moon’s rotation until it achieved tidal coupling.

I want one of the flat earth people to take a trip the edge of earth and take a picture or post video proof. Surely they have, this would prove their point. :person_facepalming: Maybe an expedition is in order. Start traveling West or East and see if you can get back to their starting point. If they never return then they fell into space.
The other item that would need proven or disproven is mental illness. This kind of thought process should be a flag to authorities. Some of these folks could potentially be a danger to society.
